Question

Two odd icons appeared over my hidden icons arrow.

Mar 13, 2017 8:40PM PDT

Hello,

I have Windows 10 on my Dell laptop, I noticed two odd icons appear over the arrow that points upward which is at the bottom right of the task bar (when I scroll the cursor over the upward pointing arrow) it says, Show hidden icons, two icons and one suspiciously looked similar to a yellow Norton icon that I have installed and then a solid circle surrounded by a thinner circle, these symbols both appeared at separate times within a couple minutes exactly over the upward pointed arrow icon for about one second before disappearing. It seemed strange and kind of scary to see, does anyone have familiarity with this situation?
